Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene transcription to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
Hydrocortisone acetate is a corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, vasodilation, and immune cell activity. Pramoxine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic that reversibly blocks sodium ion channels in nerve cell membranes, inhibiting nerve impulse conduction and providing topical anesthesia.
20-40 mg intramuscularly every 3 weeks; for intra-articular use: 20-40 mg per large joint, 10-20 mg per medium joint, 4-10 mg per small joint.
Apply a thin film to affected area three to four times daily. Topical only.

Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Hydrocortisone acetate: 1.5–2 hours (plasma), clinically adrenocortical suppression lasts 24–48 hours; pramoxine: not applicable due to minimal absorption.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
Hydrocortisone acetate: primarily renal (about 90% as metabolites, less than 1% unchanged); pramoxine HCl: negligible systemic absorption, eliminated primarily via fecal excretion.
